Yeah, it is no major rush.....but I should get moving on getting it sorted sooner or later. After a day of reading and watching videos....I learned a ton in a short amount of time about how it all works in the house. The GR is pretty much sorted out. These baseboards are always a bitch to deal with
I am gonna keep playing around with them and figure out what I need to do. If I need to replace them I will.
We can do it all thru WA with face time.....
Thanks for that offer Duggs....I will pick up a voltage tester when I get a chance, and we can find a good time to do that.OK,..BB heaters. The breakers,..are they two pole(240Volt) ?. Hook is correct Breakers rarely fail, especially 3 at once. They are NOT your problem. Do the BB heaters have 'on board' T stats or is there Tstats on the wall somewhere. U have to check for power at the heaters (with the cover off) and then work back thru the circuit ending up at your panel. U could also start at the panel(breaker terminals BE CAREFUL) and work forward thru the circuit, watever ya like. Buy yourself a cheap tester...NOT a meter. U don't need a meter, just a voltage tester. .....Just a cheapy will be fine. Once u have a tester, i will help u figure all this out OK. Up to u bud...we can do this, but u need a tester and a few screwdrivers....

I've had it since 2008 and still works I can vouch seedling

...Greenlee or Fluke will cost more, work paid for mine...for non frequent work, cheap is OK...

Yeah man.....the more I look at electrical the more it scares the shit out of me. Knowing how much I got and having everything in the safe zone is definitely a comfort. Probably should have gained that knowledge a long time ago, but better late than never.Plants are looking pretty sweet Seed. Nice work
Sorry to hear about the electrical scares and good on you for getting on top of it.
I did the same and mapped out the outlets on each circuit. Labelled them and now I can make sure I don’t overload anything.
Be safe brotha & Cheers
. Sounds like you got a good plan and aren’t messin about. I’m the same around live circuits. Like I saw a ghost or something!

Yup....I was talking to a coworker about that today. There are two single 15 amp breakers and a double 20 amp. I don't know what they draw, but that doesn't seem safe. I have no problem calling the landlord and withholding rent until it is fixed safely.....but I need to harvest and tear down first....hmnnn...looking at your panel pic and labeling, I can't see how they ran 3 baseboards off what's available without some "creative" wiring...not a sparky myself, but interested on Dugg's or anyone's take on it...
...my grandson is in an older apartment in Hamilton, and recently had some inspections done due to the building being sold...electrician's were shaking their heads at some of the wiring...the good ole' days...
...would be nice to not have to tear down and involve the owner...cheerz...
Truth.....that is what is terrifying about it. Ignorantly making a mistake can be life or death......and it is very easy to pop open that cover and mess around. Like hook was saying my heat is looking like a case of possible stupidity
Thanks Ween! Yes, my first impression of IHG and the BCP is impressive. The smells and frost coming up this early is just stunning. Not to mention the plant is just about as good as it gets for structure. The only plant still on the original set up of castors and saucer. Almost no need for sc'ing or anything. Just a pleasure to deal with.Looking super! BCP has been my favorite smelling plant I've grown to date. I looked forward to opening the tent each day and would open it just enough to stick my nose in to get a whiff, yum! Enjoy!
morning Dugganmornin to ya Seedling.
